The service was great, smiling host when we arrived and our server was very sweet. Food was okay, we got churros and could tell they were a bit freezer burnt BUT the drinks were amazing and the entrees were good, too. I didn’t like the shrimp tacos I got but I summed it up to personal preference over anything else because they did taste good. My boyfriend ate his burrito with no complaints.

Went here for our first time today and it was perfect!! From the staff to the vibe, down to the food and drinks. It exceeded our expectations. Prices are fair and the portions are huge. The presentation of the food was beautiful. My happy hour our margarita was $5 and strong!! Food was hot, delicious and fresh!! Especially the salsa. You can tell it was house made and fresh!!

Got our lunch order totalling $78.26 today from Door Dash and the food was good, BUT we ordered the white queso and were very disappointed. It’s not the serving as pictured online, and definitely not worth $7.99. We called the resto and they said it was a 6 oz. serving and costs more due to Door Dash’s pricing. We’re never going to order from them again. Customer service was non-existent. There are many other places to get good serving portions and better tasting white queso. We don’t recommend this place.

The food was very good. My only complaint was there isn’t an a’la cart menu. I’m a small eater so ordered from the kids menu of 3 choices and they add a $3 upcharge. If I was a child I would get a free drink with it. As an adult they would charge for a $3 drink. The salsa we loved, mild or warm. The 2 servers were friendly. I give it 4 stars for the above reasons and the music was a bit loud but try it, bc the food was good!

The food was delicious. Large portions. Everybody had a to-go box by the end of dinner. Not one of us was able to get dessert. I will say they had some really good looking choices on the dessert menu.

Nice intimate family owned Mexican restaurant. They have a big menu with lots of options, especially for vegan and vegetarian and gluten-free. House Margarita was pretty good. I had fish tacos for lunch. They were flavorful and came with beans and rice and a small side of what I thought was Chipotle aioli but turned out to be crema. Good flavors, excellent service. I would definitely go again.

I love the carne asada meal here and order it every time. Service and food is prompt, so we didn’t wait long for the food to arrive. The Atmosphere is so-so, nothing outstanding but who cares when the food is sooooo good And prices are fair. Nice little unassuming Mexican eatery tucked away in this plaza.

Great atmosphere and a very clean Mexican gem. Tacos and Tamales for this early dinner. Complimentary Fresh Chips and Salsa. We had Tamales, Steak Taco, Beef Taco, Chicken Soft Tacos. With Rice and Beans. The tamales were good but not as flavorful as I would expect. Presentation was perfect. The taco’s were excellent! The steak was my favorite. The rice was exceptional! Service was great also. Two friendly attentive waitresses at shift change. I will definitely try this place again. The restroom was very clean and sanitary as well.
